"Comfort Pillow Project"
GFWC Kitsap Peninsula

This is an exciting project we are working on and we are asking for your help. This project involves a service to women with breast cancer. Breast cancer. Yes, it's scary. The diagnosis is not necessarily a death sentence, it still means treatment - usually a lumpectomy or mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiation, and even reconstructive surgery.

What is a Comfort Pillow?

It's a small, soft, washable pillow a patient can place between her body and arm to relieve discomfort. It can reduce the amount of pain and provide both physical and emotional comfort during treatment and recovery period. It can also be used in the car between you and your shoulder strap or while sleeping.

How does the Project Work?

GFWC Kitsap Peninsula, a non-profit community service organization, is making and distributing Comfort Pillows Free of charge. Anyone can request a pillow whether it be for themselves, a friend, or family member. (We are doing this along with the GFWC Mira Mesa Junior Women's Club)

What Can You Do to Help?

Your help in spreading the word and expanding the project would be greatly appreciated. We need donations of (new) fabric and stuffing and/or money donations to help cover costs of fabric, stuffing, and shipping.
